Send me “🎵” and I’ll post a starter using lyrics from a song I recently listened to! song; 竈門炭治郎のうた

There's a flutter of the wings as he spreads them wide, presenting his actual self to Karen. She wouldn't remember it anyway, humans were not meant to remember encounters with him.

"Even with all I've lost, I have no choice but to keep on... Living." he had to put it simply for her to make sense. She deserved that much. Karen is the first person he is actually showing up to as an angel, but she knew him for a while now and even if she wouldn't remember it, she deserved to 'know'.

"I have things to protect." That much was true. Pip was a guardian angel with no person assigned to him. So, while waiting, he tended to people left alone without their angels. Maybe he saved a few beings here and there, but it was a job that almost went against God's will. He doubted he would ever get his own person to guard if things stayed like this, but he wouldn't give up anyway.

Prompt: Either karen or foggy buying matt a red suit as a joke, or matt buys himself one. If it's matt himself it could be post s1 and Karen gets the idea that it looks weirdly familiar. ;)

I AM WEEEEAAAAK so I actually wrote something using your prompt, nonnie. But the suit isn’t really a joke in my story… I hope you won’t mind the change!  Thanks for your prompt! ♥

“I wish Foggy were here. I wanted to see his face when he’d open the gift I got him.”

It was Christmas eve, and Foggy Nelson was in Florida, celebrating with his family. Of course, he had invited Matt and Karen to join them, but they had both refused. They didn’t want to impose on them. Foggy had argued Matt was a member of the family, but still, his friend had kept saying no. He had thus stopped trying, when he understood the real reason behind this refusal: Matt wanted some alone time with a certain blonde, even though he would never admit it to him. And Foggy was more than okay with that.

“Fine,” he had answered. “Enjoy the holiday, then. I hope I’ll find you happy when I get back.”“I am happy,” Matt had objected.Foggy had scoffed. “You can do better, Matt. And you will, I know it.”

Matt had burst out laughing, knowing all too well what he was referring to, and he had hugged him.

“See you later, pal,” Foggy had said.“Merry Christmas, Foggy.”

And so he was there, in Karen’s apartment, having dinner. She had made the first move, arguing that they couldn’t spend Christmas alone, it’d be ridiculous. She had promised him the best meal in town, and he had taken her word on that. They were now sitting at a heavily decorated table, all green and red, angels and reindeers and snowmen scattered around. Karen had gone overboard. In her defense, she hadn’t hosted a proper Christmas dinner in a while. She wanted to shower Matt with that Christmas spirit.

“What did you get him?” Matt inquired.She smirked and blushed. How he loved these flushed cheeks of hers. “A set of knives,” she let out.Matt chuckled. “A set of knives for Foggy the almost-butcher. Very smooth, Karen.”“I know, right?” she giggled.

Matt heaved a sigh. It felt right. This dinner, being in her apartment. It was so casual, something he wasn’t exactly used to, and that’s what he loved about her. How natural things were with her. He had known love before. Passion, too. Elektra Natchios had left her print on his life, she had scarred his soul, and a part of him would probably love her forever. After all, you never forget your first love. Matt Murdock was no exception. But his love for Karen Page stemmed from daily life. There were no confettis, no fireworks, no sound, no fury. And it felt fantastic, like seating on the beach and watching the sea on a summer day. She was an endless summer day by the sea.

“You know,” he said, “I don’t miss Foggy that much.”She frowned, surprised. “You don’t?”“Not one bit. Because spending Christmas with you is the best gift I could’ve ever dreamed of.”

She bit her lower lip. Her heart was racing. His too. But she remained silent. He didn’t know why he had said that. He hadn’t thought about it. It just… came out. He started to regret it. Too soon, he thought, scratching the top of his head, until she finally broke the silence.

“Well,” she said, “then I think I can throw away your actual present.”He narrowed his eyes. “Wait, I thought we agreed on a no present clause?”She grinned. “I didn’t sign any paper, Mr Murdock. You should’ve known better.”

Yes, he should have. Now curiosity and guilt were battling in his head.

“So…” he shyly began. “I believe you mentioned a present?”She joined her hands together and rested her chin on them. “I did.”Matt laughed. “You’re gonna make this hard for me, aren’t you?” “I am,” she answered with a knowing smile. He cleared his throat and sat straight. “Please, Karen,” he said, “shall you hand me the gift you got me, unworthy as I am?”Karen couldn’t help but laugh. She couldn’t keep a straight face when he was using that fancy tone. “I shall,” she replied. She got up and urged him to follow her to the Christmas tree. They sat by it, and she handed him a big box. “Here,” she said.

Matt took in a deep breath, and shook the present. Karen gave him an amused look and smiled fondly. He truly looked like a ten-year-old.

Suddenly, he froze. “Is it…”She nodded, knowing he had guessed right. “Your suit, yes.”Matt opened the box and ran his fingers on the fabric. “How…” he said, bewildered. “I know people,” Karen simply answered. She wasn’t going to add anything more, that he knew. “It’s probably not gonna be as good as your original one,” she continued, “but I figured you could still use it.”He shook his head. “I can’t accept that, Karen. Not now, not after all we’ve been through.”Karen knelt in front of him, and put her hand on his. “Listen to me very carefully, Matt. I will never, ever ask you to abandon this for me. You are Matt Murdock, but a part of Matt Murdock is Daredevil. And Daredevil’s never been the problem.” She could feel his body tense under her fingers. They had to have that talk. “Ever since you told me your secret, I’ve been nothing but proud of you, Matt,” she softly added.“How can you be proud of a guy with such darkness in him?” he asked, weakly.Karen shrugged, her hand still on this, her thumb drawing circles on his palm. “I guess I know one thing or two about darkness,” she conceded. “And I know that there’s more to you than this. You don’t do what you do because you enjoy causing pain. You do it because you are serving a purpose. You are trying to help, to protect those who can’t protect themselves. This is what you stand for. I’ve always admired that, even when I didn’t know you were him. ”

He remembered. He would never forget. She had defended him when no one believed in what he did. He had felt her pride and admiration for the Man in the Mask. People like her were the reason he did what he did. And she was the reason he had wanted to put it all behind.

“But this suit… It represents so much pain. I thought I lost you,” he said.Her other hand brushed his cheek, and she smiled. “You never lost me, Matt. You never will. If anything, I thought I lost you. Worse, I saw you losing yourself, and I couldn’t do anything about it. Because it was up to you to get your shit together. And you did.” She took in a deep breath and grabbed both his hands in hers. She held on tight. “I want to be by your side, Matt,” she said in a whisper, “I can’t… I can’t have it any other way. I need you in my life.”

Matt smiled and placed his hands on hers. How he loved to feel the blood thumping in her veins, its rhythm echoing through his whole being. She always found the words. She always knew how to get through to him, no matter how much he tried to hide from her.

“You should’ve been a lawyer, Ms Page,” he cooed, his fingers lacing through hers, gently bringing their hands down. She scoffed. “I don’t know about that.”He relished the sound of her laughter, and then a huge grin broke across his face. “Can I give you your gift now?”Karen tilted her head. “I thought you didn’t get me anything?” she said. “I never said such a thing,” Matt replied, falsely shocked. “So, may I?”She pouted. “You may.”

He tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and let his hand slid down to the crook of her shoulder, until it was pressed against the nape of her neck. A thousand shivers met his skin. Her breath was erratic, her hearbeats thundering. He gently brushed her lips with his other hand, his fingers drawing the contours of her mouth. Her breath was like fire against his fingertips. His fingers left her lips to nestle in the small of her back, and he pressed his body against hers. Suddenly, he couldn’t tell their heartbeats apart. They were beating in unison, each echoing in the ribcage of the other. And his lips were on hers. How long the kiss lasted, he would never know. Human time had been erased, annihilated. There were only their lips gliding over one another, only their tongues dancing, their breaths mingling, the heat spreading to their whole bodies until they caught fire. When they stopped, Karen smiled against his half-opened lips.

“Very bold of you to think that a kiss would make a good enough gift,” she quipped.Matt laughed, and pressed a soft kiss on her cheek. “I guess I deserve that,” he admitted.Karen took a good look at him, and placed her hands on his chest. “Do you know what I deserve?” she cooed. “To see you in that suit. ‘Cause I gotta admit, the things it does to me… Are pretty unholy.”And all of a sudden, Daredevil’s cheeks were crimson. She giggled when she noticed his flushed face. He kissed her some more. “I’m warning you,” he said in a raspy voice, “if you’re planning on taking it off afterwards, it’s gonna take forever.”She grinned and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m a patient woman. I’ll just make it worth your while.”

Ep. 13 - “EVERYTHING I TOUCH DIES” - David

Goodish news: We lost! Which is sorta what I wanted, I think? Better news: In like the first ten minutes everyone agreed to vote Jay Extra better news: Jay hasn't been to exile, so the only way he could have an idol is if he's got one through the ugly niue way. Badish news: What kind of Pacific Island tribal gets solved in 10 minutes?????????? This feels way too easy the heck. 

So I got back from exile freaking out that's gunna be me so I ask around a bit and Jay comes up to me and is basically just telling me the plan and what's going on acting like he's running everything. I assumed that he was just doing that because I missed out on actual plans or something? But no, apparently no one else knew the plan and he was doing the same thing to everyone else. Newsflash Jay, people don't appreciate it when you just tell them what to do. So we all got together and voted out Mitch. In my own paranoia I also even kind of let it slip to Jay because I thought Kevin had told him. I suggested to Jay that Mitch should play his idol or we should switch to the vote Kevin instead. Too bad Jay's response was "me, you, Mitch, Steffen, and Andrew are all voting Sam B" or something like that. Like I tried to tell you and you still didn't believe me so I don't even feel bad honestly. But it did help that I said that because Jay think he has the numbers for this vote too (because we lost obviously) which he very much does not. Plus I could tell Drew and Jordan that I tired to warn Jay and he didn't listen so it doesn't look like I completely flipped because I'm 99% positive that Jay, Drew, Mitch, and Jordan had a nice big boys alliance that they were planning on running merge with and now we're ruining that. Jordan was really trying to make sure that Jay was staying which makes me want to get rid of him even more. If we're working together and you REALLY wanna make sure that I keep someone that puts up some red flags. I have other allies that aren't Jay so I don't want bring someone to merge who is gunna be a number for someone else and not me. Hopefully Jay doesn't play an idol so he can just be gone. Also Steffen, Sam B, and I made this alliance called S cubed and I think it's adorable. We seem to work together pretty well so hopefully it can take us pretty far. All 3 of us are searching the stream for the idol (or I would if Monty ever answers me!) so hopefully we find it before other people do.

Memoir Of Andrew Genitalia Chapter 666: An Explanation For Mitch Voting Mitch sucked. A lot. But he had a ruby idol! And he was with Jay! So blame Jay. Like I love Mitch but it had to be done. Plus Mitch was just too good at the challenges and come merge that would be bad. And with setting up for the merge, Jordan is trying to make some power alliance. Which I don't wanna be a part of! Mitch and Jay were a part of that on top of being a duo. This is basically me making Jordan who apparently has 2 idols and 2 vote doublers weaker come merge because I wanna excel with both Sam G and Kevin separately. Or maybe together? Idk. Plus. We want to have the obvious duo of Steffen and Sam B get targeted at merge. So there it is. End Of Chapter 666 Now I'm gonna be pissed if Jay doesn't go because I don't wanna have to have voted out Mitch for nothing! If Jay has an idol it'll be fucked because it could be me. Or if someone flipped it could be me? Idk I'm nervous. Fuck. I just don't want it to be me tbh. I was straight up with Jay going so if he does use an idol I hope he isn't fucking me over.

So I was completely blindsided. Mitch is gone, Dan is gone, all the idols I knew of were either flushed out of the game or used. Sam G is a liar, Steffen is a snake, Sam B is self-righteous, Andrew and Kevin are irrelevant, and I'm completely screwed. Or am I? Sam G and Steffen claim they are voting Kevin out and not me. I believe Sam G, even though she's a complete liar. I don't believe Steffen because he's a snake. But it takes three. If Sam and Steffen are being truthful, I'll make top 11 and hopefully merge. If I merge, I merge with numbers. I have Jordan, Sara, Drew, Gage, and Ash. They're not all working together, but they aren't against me. All that's left is to combine that group into one and pick off the rest of the Hoku tribe. Or the Whoko tribe because most of them are irrelevant and all of them are awful :) If today is my last day, I had a good time. Until Billy left. Then I had a high once Karen left. And then I crashed back down to Earth in a fiery crash. I hope I stay. I doubt I'll stay. But I just have to hope the liars have decided to lie to someone else tonight. 

Conf #21: EVERYTHING I TOUCH DIES no but really all of my alliance member leave the second i get close to them and its really sad and upsetting

How the fresh fuck does Jordan Pines have two idols when my dumbass hasn't even been to exile? Who let this happen? Also I wanted to go to exile but apparently we assigned the challenges already and that's....totally fine! Totally :) Jay rn is like he's all alone and his two allies went home (also rip Dan cause now there's only two Niue people left though if it had to be one of us I'd rather it be him). He's kinda desperate for someone to work with I think. And like, I don't hate him or anything, I like Jay. And not to sound like Abi Maria, but he left me in the dark. Twice. At not one moment did he even suggest voting Sam B. Would I have done that? Well, no. But I would think that when we're "good" that means we tell each other how we're voting, but I suppose not. 

3 idols were nice while they lasted

I haven't talked to any of my tribe members doing the challenge but I hope that they're smart enough to throw the challenge because like, duh, Jay will totally jump ship when we merge. And like,, I don't know who on that other tribe I have. Drew? But Drew might go with Jay too. And then there's that unholy trifecta of Ash Gage and Jordan (with two idols????? like). And that leaves like, Sara, who've I never been on a tribe with. Oh and David who's actually neat but idk if he'd work with us so yikes.
